There were broads, and there was Elaine Stritch, the toughest, the smartest, and among the most talented of all. And she could sing.

Once called "the most dangerous actress on Broadway" - "Now that's a valentine!" she declared - Ms. Stritch died Thursday at her home in Birmingham, Mich., at 89, after a seven-decade career in stage, screen, and television that wound down only last year.
